In the upcoming weeks, the librarians have two big events planned – all of which are free and come with cookies!

First up, this next Wednesday (2/26) at 3:00 pm, we’ll have the very first event of our Author Speaker series. By partnering with the Departments of Religious Studies and Philosophy, the library is able to host author Carlos Alberto Sanchez as he talks about his book The Suspension of Seriousness: On the Phenomenology of Jorge Portilla. Carlos is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at San Jose State University, where he teaches courses on Phenomenology, Existentialism, Social and Political Philosophy, and Latin American Philosophy. All are welcome regardless of major. The library will provide light refreshments. Email Mary Wegmann (mwegmann at ndnu.edu) for more details!

Our second big event is a field trip to the South Bay Women’s Conference in San Jose on Saturday, March 8th. This is the perfect opportunity to network with professionals from the Bay Area and meet some incredible women. The library will provide transportation and will sponsor students who would like to attend. Visit the conference website for more details: http://www.southbaywc.org/. The keynote speaker is Lilly Ledbetter of the Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. Email Anna Fulton (afulton at ndnu.edu) for more details.
